I'm often asked what's behind Estonia's 30y of success. Global Corruption Index 2021 gives you at least one part of the recipe. No state can be succesful if it fails to be successful in fight against corruption. Estonia ranks #6 least corrupt in the world. risk-indexes.com/global-corrupt…
The fantastic Prime Minister of Iceland @katrinjak just shared that the women’s issues are the mainstream issues and the sentiment is shared across the party lines. #Reykjavik21 @WomenLeadersGF
Honoured to meet the PM of Iceland at the @WomenLeadersGF. There is a height adjustable speaking lectern with space for a wheelchair for ministers with disabilities in parliament. It was a pleasure to discuss inclusion briefly with her. I will speak later on the Power of Water.
"It is important to eliminate the barriers that hinder women in seeking and getting equal opportunities in the labor market and in attaining positions of power in society." ~ Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, Prime Minister, Iceland (2009-2013), at #Reykjavik21 @WPLeadersOrg
Good meeting with inspiring women at the #ReykjavíkGlobalForum. Greater gender equality means better societies for all of us. We have come far in many ways but the job is far from done. We must never relent in our fight for gender equality.
"These are the women that have changed the landscape of Iceland, these are the women that have been the trailblazers of Iceland" ~ @HannaBirnaWPL, from @WPLeadersOrg at #Reykjavik21
